What are Non-Renewable Resources

There are four major types of nonrenewable resources: oil, natural gas, coal, and nuclear energy

Oil, natural gas, and coal are collectively called fossil fuels.

Fossil fuels were formed within the Earth from dead plants and animals over millions of years hence they name “fossil” fuels.

Non-renewable energy comes from sources that will run out or will not be replenished in our lifetimes

Non-renewable resources, such as coal and oil, are the primary source of power in the world, and they are used to power vehicles, factories, and homes
